The philosophy of the degree is that, through the knowledge and skills they gain, students will be able to act as global citizens, making informed choices for positive change and thus contributing to sustainability. The programme is built upon a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainable development with an underlying ethos that environmental, political, social and cultural aspects of sustainability and global citizenship are interwoven and interdependent. By studying these aspects and the inter-related nature of them, students will gain a holistic understanding of sustainability and what contributions ‘global citizens’ can make to sustainable practices. Each of these themes is developed in breadth – via the variety of contexts of the programme modules – and in depth, exploring and engaging with the concepts and themes in more detail through the three years. The second, and complementary, ethos of the degree is to provide graduates with the skills needed to be valuable employees in the sustainable-development sector and as potential post-graduate students in the scientific community. In this respect, the teaching methods, indicative content and assessment methods are deliberately chosen for students to develop and practice their verbal and written communication skills in ways which will enhance their professional skill set. The breadth of topics covered in the degree gives students an introduction to the diversity of careers and sectors which they can work within as graduates. Using case-studies, undertaking visits and introducing students to guest speakers and professionals will enable them to develop both personal and scientific opinion as to the key needs for sustainability; additionally, they will be able to make decisions as to which of the many career paths available they will want to pursue. Throughout the design and delivery of the modules, all aspects and materials will be consistently viewed through the three critical lenses of theory, application and professional development, to promote the ongoing personal development and commitment required to complete the programme.
